Hazard Labels IMDG, GHS & CLP

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG)

The International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) code was developed to provide a uniform set of regulations to cover areas on transporting, stowage and segregation of hazardous materials and chemicals. JALITE labels are printed on durable, hard wearing material that can withstand even the harshest environment. Labels come with a self adhesive backing and can be easily applied.

Global Harmonized system (GHS) Transport of dangerous goods Labels

GHS stands for Global Harmonized system of Classification and labelling of Chemicals and is a internationally recognised system that was created by the United Nations. GHS labels have been created to replace the various classifications and labelling standards that currently exist in different countries.

The CLP Regulation

The CLP Regulation (European Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on Classification, Labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures) was created by The European Commission to adopt this new GHS system. The regulation came into force on the 20th January 2009 and will be direcly applied to all EU member states, including the UK in 2015.
